Rookie Card Yu Darvish Appraisal

Yu Darvish Baseball Card

The item is a baseball trading card featuring pitcher Yu Darvish of the San Diego Padres. The card displays a photograph of Darvish in his Padres uniform, number 11, in a pitching pose. The background appears to be a blurred baseball field. The card design includes a gradient effect behind the player and a silver-colored banner at the bottom containing the player's name 'YU DARVISH' and possibly a team designation or card detail below that, though it is illegible in the image. The Padres 'SD' logo is visible in the lower left corner. A 'BL' logo, possibly indicating the card set or series, is in the upper right. The card is encased in a clear plastic sleeve or top loader, which shows some surface wear and scratches visible on the plastic itself. The card within the holder appears to have slightly soft corners upon close inspection, particularly the bottom right. The colors on the card are vibrant, featuring the brown and gold of the Padres' jersey. The printing quality seems standard for modern trading cards. There are no visible major creases or tears on the card, but the protective sleeve's condition is suboptimal. There are no discernible manufacturer's marks or copyright information visible on the front of the card in the provided image. Based on the uniform design and player, the card likely dates from the early to mid-2020s. The overall condition of the card itself seems good, though the protective sleeve is worn.
